Joanna gave birth to Crew on June 23, 2018, and it was a whole new experience for her because eight months had passed since the last time that she was pregnant.

During an interview with People, the Fixer Upper confessed that she wasn't expecting the results of the pregnancy test to come out positive and that her jaw dropped when she realized that she was carrying a child.

According to Joanna, she felt 'a little emotional and crazy,' and that Chip was already in the driveway, about to leave for work, when she called him to tell him the amazing news.
